Hot August Nights 1

An OTR Weekend Special

Ten old-time radio shows, each originally aired in Augusts of those years, every weekend through this month. One hour-long program, nine half-hour or less shows; one of each type available. August was traditionally the time when radio comics went on vacation, so there isn't much comedy here. Stiflingly-hot radio studios in pre-HVAC towns like Los Angeles and NYC were probably part of the problem. Sit in front of a fan, pour a cold one and enjoy. Files I've cleaned up (lowered background noise and/or volume) have mpdm added to title.
